Extremely professional, courteous nothing was too much trouble. The premises of Lymns at Woodhouse gave a very much warm and loving feeling. I am a perfectionist myself, though found the service received throughout was faultless.

Susan Slack 19th Mar 2022

I was very impressed with the care, patience and support my family and i receieved after my husband died; espiecally on the day of the funeral ,from the driver of the car. The funeral arranger was very good and sympathetic and helped my Mother and myself arrange the funeral really well. Thank you very much.

About Us

The office, known as The Old Farm, is located in one of the oldest buildings in Mansfield Woodhouse, a former farmhouse that has recently been completely refurbished. It is set in lovely rural surroundings and has a beautiful service chapel, family rooms, visiting rooms, cold room facilities, washing facilities for specific funeral rites, plenty of parking and a full fleet of hearse and limousines.

Cyril Welsh Funeral Directors, who previously had offices at the premises, was incorporated by the A W Lymn group. The branch has most of the north Nottingham fleet on site, including a Rolls-Royce Phantom VII hearse and matching limousines.

Jonathan Baker is the area manager and the office is staffed by funeral directors Andy Askew and Stacey Burman and funeral arranger Wendy Walker & Max Whitehouse, who will be more than pleased to assist you during office hours, which are Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5pm and on Saturday from 9 am to 12.30 pm.

If you need assistance outside of these hours, please call the telephone number at any time and the office can be opened for you at your convenience.

The branch serves all of Mansfield Woodhouse and its surrounding area including Berry Hill, Blidworth, Church Warsop, Clipstone, Forest Town, Harlow Wood, Ladybrook, Mansfield, Pleasley, Rainworth, Ravenshead, Shirebrook, Warsop, Warsop Vale and beyond.

Nigel, Jackie and Matthew Lymn Rose manage A W Lymn The Family Funeral Service.

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    Cyril, thank you for your very kind comments in regard to the way Stacey, Jonathan and the team at Mansfield Woodhouse provided their service in organising the funeral for the late Mary. I am sorry that neither of them was available on the day to oversee the funeral and I am therefore particularly pleased that you were happy with the way that I dealt with everything even though I explained to you on the day that I was a little out of my normal area being at Mansfield Woodhouse. Again thank you for the 5* review. Nigel
